The Kedewatan main road in fact is lined up with many warung diners that serve the typical Balinese style chicken rice or nasi ayam, yet it is this one warung that has been widely recognized and maintained a good reputation. With queues and parking issues aside, the warung offers a hearty and spicy Balinese meal.The mix includes typically Balinese spiced chicken shreds, chicken and fish satays, succulent deep-fried crispy chicken skins, half slice of boiled and sambal-topped egg, together with shredded coconut and chopped yardlong beans and salted roast nuts. The portioning takes place at the counter as you order, making possible for personal preference of your plate contents – especially in terms of sambal, as some like it hot, while others request for just a little or “no sambal” at all.The dining area is actually the makeover of the owner’s Balinese house compound, with tables and chairs in several separate pavilions. Lesehan or sans-chairs style dining is also available on tatami mats.
